Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Just got the new Vampire Weekend LP.

Great music, love each and every song on it.

HATE the quality of the LP. It sounds like someone draped a thick wool blanket over my speakers. Flat and lifeless compared to the included CD which should have been a tipoff that this is one of those "profit QUICK before the hipster kids stop buying them" efforts.

Just to be sure I followed it with Lazaretto (I see it as a similar "profit off hipster vinyl love" but with some decent mastering) and it was night and day. Despite all the goofy gimmicks, that LP sounds bright, crisp and makes you tap your foot. Jack White seems to care about the sound of his vinyl.

That's not implying that the band Vampire Weekend doesn't care, but maybe they just don't know that letting a record executive handle your LP business (mastering, pressing etc.) is an error.
